PGZ also noted that it is constantly expanding its cooperation in the supply of ammunition and spare parts, as well as equipment maintenance. Background:

Earlier, Berlin reached an agreement with Warsaw to set up a repair centre for Leopard 2 tanks that were damaged on the battlefield in Ukraine.
In July, Polish Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak announced that a maintenance and repair centre for Leopard 2 tanks received by Ukraine had started operating in Gliwice, Poland, at the Bumar-Labedy plant.
The centre was to open in late May. Following talks with Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak in April, his German counterpart Boris Pistorius said that both sides had reached the final stage of implementation.
